Campground Proposal Near Porteau Cove Park
About this episode
A proposed commercial campground near Porteau Cove Provincial Park is advancing, with the Squamish Lillooet Regional District board giving it unanimous second reading for zoning changes and plan updates. The seven-hectare site, previously used for gravel, is set for seventy-three sites with tents, RVs, and glamping options, along with an amenity building. The project, first introduced in September 2023, will allow locals to voice their opinions at an upcoming public hearing, potentially influencing its integration with the nearby provincial park. Nineteen sites are planned for RVs or tiny homes, subject to strict certification rules. The public hearing will determine if the campground moves forward or faces community resistance.

It's April 6th. I'm Cory with the story. This is Vancouver News today, driven by AI. A proposed commercial campground right next to Porto Cove provincial park is picking up steam. The Squamish-Liluit Regional District Board gave it unanimous second reading on March 25th for zoning changes and plan updates. And now, they're setting up a public hearing. This spot in the C.D. Sky corridor sits on about seven hectares of old gravel land. The plan calls for 73 sites with tents, RVs and glamping options, plus an amenity building that includes commercial space and employee, housing upstairs. First reading happened back in September of 2023, so it's been in the works for a while. Locals will get their chance to weigh in soon, which could shape how this fits with the nearby provincial park and its natural vibe. Plans include about 19 sites with RVs or tiny homes, but they have to meet strict rules as certified recreational vehicles. No foundations or permanent setups allowed?
With the public hearing on deck, we'll see if this campground rolls forward or hits a snag from community feedback. Keep an eye on how it plays out.
